Shai is a Developer Advocate at Lightrun, where he's busy explaining why hotfixing just to add a log line needs to be a thing of the past. He is also a JavaOne rockstar that has been developing software professionally for ~30 years, a published author, an open-source hacker (founder and long-time maintainer of Codename One) , an experienced Java trainer and a public speaker. When he's not in front of his machine you can find him making food for his two kids or doing Yoga with his wife (well, at least attempting to).
